AlGra reviewed The Black God’s Drums by P. Djèlí Clark
Review of "Black God's Drums" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The world building is worth 5 stars, the story is a boring 1 star so on average I think 3 stars is accurate. This steampunk-ish New Orleans with black magic where you can find Haitian and Trinidarian powerful governments is quite novel. What happens in this world is incredibly cliché considering the trends on fantasy in the last 20 years. I would expect this to be the first installation of a trilogy, but apparently it is a single novella. I'm not sure I would read potentially following books in this series though.
